A bitter day in the Upper Valley. Yes, it was cold and there was a stinging wind. But it was clear and beautiful to look at. It wasn’t the weather that ripped my heart out.
We lost Ralph today. (Yes, we checked under the bed. Don’t be a smartass.)
He couldn’t stand on his own anymore. His footing, after I hoisted him to his feet, was shaky. More times than I care to remember, he fell. He was frustrated. I hope he wasn’t in pain, but I know he wasn’t comfortable.
I know it was the right decision. I know it was best for Ralph.
But, my big buddy is gone.
